Keeping focus as a novice programmerFINALLY!!!! A developer who gets it. Programming is change..movement... it's water. Can't be chilling on one language for years. Ain't "nobady" got time for that! :)

Why am I not making money and success even If I am organised, motivated and hard-working?Well, think of it like this. What are you currently working to achieve? how is progression like in your field? does it lean more towards years of experience (e.g in government jobs) or skill level(e.g tech fields) this will help you know what to work towards. By working different I mean you need to start working to achieve some personal agenda not just a pay check. Pick up jobs that will allow you meet the right people, start looking for other streams of income (doesn't have to relate to your skills). Pick up new skills and such

How do I make myself stop doing addictive activity?I strongly disagree here, what if your job requires a high need for online connectivity e.g blogger, stock broker, journalist etc. How do you stay focused then? E.g, I'm an indie programmer who's just starting out and needs the internet to collaborate, look up solutions on stack overflow (we al do it :) ) and test websites and such. How do I stay focused on my tasks for long periods without constantly deviating from my goal?
